Quotes about Desire

But the Bible teaches us that our heart deceives us and is desperately wicked. At its core, our heart is all about self—not Christ. It's about what's temporary—not eternal. It's about what's easy—not what's right. It's obsessed with what we want—not what God wants.

You must long for God more than normal. You must be willing to live to give, not live to gain.

It simply means that within every man, God has planted a divine desire to fight for righteousness.

Having more of this world never fulfills. Only more of Christ does.

Earth is not heaven. It was never meant to be. No new car, new house, new living room furniture, new kitchen appliances, new clothes, new hair, new baby, new vacation, new job, new income, new husband, or new anything will ever satisfy us, because we were not made for the things of this world.

Normally, we're never satisfied.

If you catch yourself wondering why you want more of the world and you're not satisfied with God, it's because you have a spiritual problem.

To get rid of a spiritual problem, we need to pull it up by its spiritual root. To pull up roots, we're going to have to be willing to get our hands dirty, to make some sacrifices that provides long-term benefits instead of short-term, refinanced gains. God is willing to help us, to provide the tools we need to weed out those areas where our desire for money is spoiling our fruit of the Spirit.

I think God eventually changed my heart simply because I clung to my desire for Him, even though I wasn't sure how to follow through on that desire.

You will battle with discontent until you let Christ be all that you need.

Sex and beauty are inseparable, like life and consciousness. And the intelligence which goes with sex and beauty, and arises out of sex and beauty, is intuition.

The human soul needs actual beauty more than bread.
